Keep a memory of a favorite restaurant or place by saving a set of decorative paper placemats to take home. Once home you can cover them with clear contact paper on both sides to preserve them and your memories. My parents had lovely ones that they had gotten from Ireland.
Thats a great idea---my parents (mainly my mom) saved some when they were dating----that would make a neat Anniversary gift for them!! Thanks!!
You can do the same with picture frames, put your momentos inside and display on the wall, on a table, cabinet, etc. or give as a gift.
